~ The Kitty Thread!! ~ Take 2!

Calicos are the official state cat of Maryland! I am looking to add a kitty to my household hopefully by mid-winter. 

I have been sitting for these two rascals this week while friends are out of town for a wedding:

Homer the best little good boy and sweetest baby girl Panda. 

(Despite their names, Panda is the grey one.)

Thanks. She is pretty spectacular. She is very sweet as well. She is very small - only 6 pounds. I think she must have been the runt of her litter. But she has a perpetual kitten look even though she is 6 years old.

We’ve only had a state cat since 2001. Calicos were chosen because of their coloring, which matches that of both the state bird (Baltimore oriole) and insect (Baltimore checkerspot), both of which are named after the colors of the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore.

No i don't think this was the one I was talking about. SHe warmed up pretty quickly. It most likely was Kia who I was talking about. She unfortunately passed away a month ago though.

Do you go to the vet for "senior checks" for your older cats?

thanks. yeah she was having problems and I went away for the weekend. Came home and she was in bad shape. I think she had diabetes. Never had a chance to take her to the vet unfortunately (she was difficult to pick up and put in a carrier).

Just for yearly checkups unless they are showing signs of problems I do also.

I go for yearly checks for all my cats. Once they turn 10 or so I give them more extensive senior blood work. It is really important to check for signs of kidney disease and diabetes which are really common in older cats. My 17 year old cat that just passed was diagnosed with early kidney disease at 13. I put him on a special prescription food for that and it didn’t progress to anything really serious. So many cats die from it but mine died from something else. Had I not caught it early he may not have lived as long.
